My Story: My Why

I experienced chronic fatigue for a decade, at times I couldn't walk from my bedroom to the kitchen. I believe this was in part due to simply not allowing energy in motion to move through me. Not allowing myself to feel my emotions, for feeling is part of the natural motion of energy.

 

In 2018 I went on a Love Yourself Retreat, during which we had a dance party. It was the first time I had ever danced, honestly. Moved my body with intention and awareness that movement heals. 

 

Energy wants to move.

It is creative and expressive.

It's life force. 

​

I AM embodied expression

I AM energy in motion

I AM movement and sound

I AM feeling

— without apology and with abandon

 

Emotion = energy in motion = e-motion

 

This information changed my life.

It changed how I related to myself and my emotions.

​

I started exploring what it means to embody my expression. And this enquiry keeps inviting me deeper. At first I thought it was only dance, and physical movement...but its so much deeper and all encompassing than that b e c a u s e everything is energy, always in motion, always expressing, always moving.

 

It's not the doing of the thing, it's the feeling of the thing.

 

I have come home to my body, and started feeling safe and at home in her through these practises.

 

I have discovered my desires. The energy of my desire creates movement towards my soul led, full body yes. It creates the space, and literally creates the energy to engage with the thing that I desire! Desire is one of the most potent ways home to myself.

 

And in this exploring of myself I have discovered that everything I do is an outpouring of myself, my energy. That my body holds my truth. My pure truth and I can trust my body to hold me deeply!

 

My intention has become to create space in my own life to follow this energy, the emotions that I feel. TO trust the flow. TO feel good in my body. TO feel like myself and live more fully grounded and present, allowing all of my energy to be an embodied expression of myself.

 

Everything I do is an expression of myself. 

Everything you do is an expression of yourself. I know more and more in my body that the times and places that we’re most embodied and most fully allowing the energy to flow so we feel our emotions freely and are living in our highest, fullest, freest expression is when we in the energy of playfulness; when we’re experiencing desire and letting that lead us from that place of deep knowing and intuitive movement in our bodies.

 

It's my desire to create spaces, workshops, art, movement in the form of dance, play, tree climbing, games we played as kids but neglected in adulthood, …shared meals around the camp fire, shared food eaten with delight and followed with dance, 1:1 intuitive expression space; whatever it is, for people, with people. So more of us can come home to our bodies and feel this delight. 

 

So that we can dive more deeply in your ourselves and find that deep love that comes from feeling at home in ones own body. Deeply grounded, deeply trusting of one's self and able to access ones intuition, for that is what I have and continue to discover on this journey of embodied expression...when we live in our bodies, we have access to our truth, to our inner knowing and to deep self love that births more delight, more play, more desire, more creativity and more curiosity for life. From there we become more and more emotive, full of energy in motion...for that is what energy is for; feeling so much awe for oneself that it flows outwards in expression.
